So, this week’s Trend Spin is Jewel Tones. I admit, I had to Google which colors were considered jewel tones. Turns out, there’s not really a consensus. I suppose technically they are colors that resemble gemstones, such as emerald, dark red, purple, and dark blue. The opposite of a jewel tone would be a pastel or lighter version of the darker colors.

I tend to gravitate toward jewel tones but strangely I was having a difficult time coming up with an outfit today. See, I also wanted to participate in Sarah’s Take One, Pass It On
challenge 2.0. I did this in February
as well and it was a good exercise in remixing items in my closet. However, since I didn’t wear any jewel tones yesterday I decided to take the boots and pass them on to today!

So, which item will I pass on from today’s outfit? Guess you’ll have to keep reading to find out!

Oh good. The fact that you didn’t know what jewel tones are either makes me feel much better about having no clue what “jewel tones” really means. I think I generally refer to jewel tones as “colors good for fall and winter” haha.

Speaking of fall: so excited about all the color on the trees in the first picture! Good work, nature.

OMG, I love jewel tones! They’re pretty much all I wear, since they go really well with a pale complexion and dark hair. I don’t know if the bright pink that you often wear is technically considered jewel tone, but I lump that one in anyway since I always think jewel tones as just really saturated colors.

I love jewel tones! They look so good on women with coloring like ours. Whenever I watch “What Not To Wear” Stacy and Clinton refer to jewel tones as “saturated color” which I think is a great way to describe them.
